Ever since then, I’ve wanted something.” He smoothed his hands up her legs and pushed up her skirt.

“I’m not sure I trust myself around you I liked you from the start, J.D. I really wish things had been different, thats all.”

“Ive been in love with you since the very beginning. You asked why there isnt anyone else in my life, and the reason... is you.”

“If you also thinks it means I wake up every morning wondering what I did to deserve having you back in my life, well, youd be right about that too.”
